OUR TOP PICKS - Caravan Camping and Motorhome Show 2026 @ NEC

Caravan vs Van: The Ultimate Small Space Showdown! | Caravan & Camping Show 2026 Are you team Caravan or team Van? Today, we’re hunting for the best "dinky" campers on the market at the 2026 Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show! 🚐💨 Join us (Chris & Sonia) as we step out of our beloved Bailey Discovery D42 to see how the latest 2026 models stack up. From the incredibly clever storage in the new Adria Action 391 to the ultra-cute VW Caddy micro-camper (yes, Sian found the dinky cushions!), we’re exploring whether the versatility of a van beats the space and value of a traditional caravan. We also bump into Traveling with Tim, take a "warp speed" tour of the entire show, and debate the big question: Is it worth spending £90k on a van when a £25k caravan offers more living space? In this video, we look at: The updated 2026 Bailey Discovery & Phoenix Black Edition. Luxury small layouts from Swift and Coachman. The innovative Adria Action (wait until you see the bathroom!). Teardrop trailers and retro Barefoot caravans. Ford and MAN van conversions vs. Micro-campers. Are you thinking of transitioning from a caravan to a van? Or maybe you're looking for your first dinky setup?
